So many lessons learned from a butterfly!

Brandie and Ivan gave Molly a great present for her b-day: a butterfly habitat. We were all so excited for the whole experience, and it looked so darn good in theory! Our home however, is a hostile environment for mariposas....No matter where I tried to put them, the cats repeatedly knocked their enclosure down. Out of 6 cocoons, two hatched in a way that allowed them to fly freely, the others, not so much! Molly had a BLAST at the community garden, the two butterflies go. She actually carried one of them around for about 40 mins, and took it on a bike ride...(I know, can you even imagine what that creature was thinking, or later told his little friends?) She finally set the last one go, and still enjoys talking about them- flyer and flitter.
